Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is a hot month in Moscow, Texas, with an average temperature ranging between max 86.5°F (30.3°C) and min 64.9°F (18.3°C).

Temperature

As Moscow welcomes May, the average high-temperature sees a modest rise, transitioning from a warm 78.6°F (25.9°C) in April to a hot 86.5°F (30.3°C). Moscow's average nighttime temperature descends significantly from the day's peak in May, settling at an enjoyable 64.9°F (18.3°C).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
